Ivar Jerven

Ivar Jerven (June 21, 1924 – April 24, 1994) was a Norwegian graphic artist, painter, and drawer.

[1] He then studied for three years under Per Krohg at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts (from 1943 to 1947),[1] after which landscape painting became his dominant means of expression.

[3] He also painted poetic pictures of trees, often fragile and bare, with an emphasis on structure and rhythm.

His color scheme was the initially dark, with green, ocher, rust red, and slate blue as most prominent.

Together with artists such as Ellen Iden, Kjerstin Øvrelid, Knut Monrad, Finn Strømsted, Bodil Cappelen, Finn Henrik Bodvin, and Liv Nergaard, an artistic environment was created that drew inspiration from nature and the skerries.
